First Lymphangion Chip
May 24, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
“To engineer this new device, [bioengineers at Texas A & M University] first developed a new technique to create microfluidic cylindrical blood or lymphatic vessels consisting of endothelial cells, which line blood vessels. It could then use this technique to create a co-cultured multicellular lymphangion, the functional unit of a lymph vessel, and successfully recreate a typical section of a lymphatic transport vessel in vitro, or outside the body.” MORE
